Bought this game the other day, not very far in but is the entire game just crawling around at a snails pace? Instead of being scared I’m just annoyed when I get spotted and killed and have to redo shit. I’m only 4 hours in and I’m already just sprinting through areas if I failed once, because this shit is tedious as fuck.

Who says you have to crawl?
Are you a pissbaby that thinks walking makes too much noise?
Well it doesn't and nothing ever told you it did

So can I just walk past everything or do I have to tediously stand here and watch these androids walk around until I can walk past? I’m not trying to play a game where I sit and hide for 20 hours.

I played Dead Space for the first time last year and it was awesome, great atmosphere like this game except the gameplay wasn’t crazy tedious. I just wanted to know if I’m missing something because it seems like it’s impossible to make it through an area without getting seen unless I’m supposed to be constantly making distractions.

It's a stealth horror game. You get a flamethrower later and can use people as distractions but mostly it's how it is now. It's not a game fir everyone so if you bounce off it just find something more palatable. IGN agreed with you if it makes you feel better.

I found it extremely boring and tedious and not scary at all. I cant be scared if getting spotted if basically a game over. I can only be scared if I can actually defend myself with guns. In this game I basically just go "meh" when I get spotted as I am not getting the required dopamine I'd get in games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill and Dead Space.

yeah its boring as shit, hours of hiding in cupboards and waiting for the retarded Alien AI to decide to fuck off for a bit so you can get down another hallway and then repeat

you get a bunch of guns and gadgets eventually and they make the Alien once again fuck off for maybe 20 seconds before you have to go hide again

OP here I’m 32 it’s more like I just don’t appreciate the game wasting my time with…tension I guess? But tension only lasts so long in a videogame before becoming tedious. For instance the part I’m at specifically is an early Working Joe section where I snuck through an area to try and get to comms, then it doesn’t work and an alarm goes off and now I have to sneak back past the Working Joes. I made it pretty far, but slipped up and got spotted and even hiding in a locker didn’t work to get them off my ass so I died and have to do all of it again. Now the second time it isn’t scary at all, it’s just straight annoying.

Yeah, I never really figured out what the "correct" way to play this game was. I made one attempt to use alarms and noisemakers as a distraction in the hospital area. After the alien ran past me into all that noise I started running in the opposite direction. As soon as I started running I got yoinked into an overhead air duct.
After that I just crawled through the entire rest of the game.

>scared
How can anyone that's seen the movies/played the games be scared? You know what it looks like. You know what it does. The terror typically comes from not knowing what's after you in the dark.
These games also do horror completely wrong.
It's supposed to feel like the monster is about to catch and kill you, but instead this game has made the Xenonigger an annoying fuck with wall hack that kills you at every turn.
Replaying sections in a horror game is NOT scary. It's a frustrating chore.

I did swap it to easy I was on hard, but if I was hiding and peeked and a robot happened to spot me in the second I peeked I was fucked which isn’t scary it’s fucking annoying. Like how long is this game if you play it the normal way? I was looking for a 10 hour scary game not a 30 hour tedious sneak game.

The game runs well because the game world is extremely static and the only real effects that cost anything to run are the lights from flares, flamethrower and flashlight. Even the draw distance is tiny so it can be extremely light to run.

It's a brilliant game. The closest you'll ever come to being in an Alien movie. Stick with it. I hate "hard" games like Silksong or what have you but this is one of the best gaming experiences I have EVER had. I've been replaying it since 2014 across different platforms. From PS3 to Steam Deck, I haven't stopped loving it.

Yes, that's pretty much the whole game. Sneak around at snails pace and don't hide in closets because there you don't have access to weapons. Instead just crawl beneath surfaces to hide yourself and treat enclosed hiding spots as a useless game mechanic.

I'm pretty sure you get the motion sensor before you ever actually encounter the alien. You're right about the beginning of the game being the hardest, though. Medical is a nightmare to get through. But then you get the flamethrower and the rest of the game is a cakewalk.

Yep. It's funny seeing the statistics say that most players barely make it past the level the alien is introduced. Too hard and scary kek. But like halfway through, you have flamethrower, distractions, guns, tools, etc. So much stuff that the alien becomes mostly trivial unless the game forces you into a specific situation or takes away your gear for a bit.

Finding out that all of these objects are just gigantic sight barriers for the Alien helps a lot. Also that crouching and walking make zero difference in the amount of sound you make, so you're better off just walking and only using crouch when you need to get behind a table the alien inexplicably cannot see you behind despite being in plain sight.

>Alien: Extermination
The first half is just pretty much Isolation, but with you going through the ship that rescued you and the ship/station on orbit, decide to Kamikaze it on the planet to end it. Then you crash land on the planet, get rescued from the impact room and patched up with implants like Morrow, discover there's a full on research facility colony then go full rip and tear on Xenos, Synths and experiment abominations.
Then in the end you Allahu Akbar the reactor and blow everything up. Post credit scene is in a Weyland Yutani room with suits talking, a printer is seeing printing something, one of the suits takes it, the camera pans into it revealing a picture of old Amanda, he puts it inside a case, the camera pans to reveal it's Burke.

The primary thing I wish Alien Isolation 2 would do above all else is use a different protagonist than Amanda. Let her story be done. It fits in the canon as is. Don't ruin it. But you know they will use her, and they will ruin it. They can't help it.
